Full details
The Selections Telephone Box Bird Seed Feeder is designed for bird enthusiasts looking to add a touch of novelty to their garden without sacrificing functionality. This feeder is ideal for attracting smaller bird species to your outdoor space, offering an 'all-around' feeding experience with its unique British telephone box design. While it serves as a striking decorative piece, potential users should note that its 20cm stature is best suited for small birds, and it may not accommodate larger avian visitors as easily as larger, commercial-grade platforms.

FAQs
What type of bird seed should I use?
This feeder works best with standard mixed seeds or sunflower hearts, which are ideal for small garden birds.
How often should I clean the feeder?
It is recommended to clean the feeder at least once a month, or whenever you refill the seed, to prevent mold growth.
Can this feeder be used year-round?
Yes, it is designed for year-round use, though you may want to move it to a more sheltered spot during extreme winter weather.
Is the red paint safe for birds?
Yes, the product is finished with coatings safe for outdoor garden environments and local wildlife.
Does the roof keep the seeds dry?
The roof design provides some protection against light rain, but heavy rain may still dampen the seeds if they are exposed at the ports.
Troubleshooting
Seed is not flowing to the tray
Check if large seeds are clogging the ports and clear them manually; ensure the seed used is appropriate for the port size.
The feeder is swinging too much in the wind
Use a shorter piece of wire or a secondary hook to anchor the bottom, or move it to a more sheltered location.
Birds are not visiting the feeder
Ensure the feeder is visible, located away from predator hiding spots, and filled with fresh, high-quality bird seed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply find a sturdy branch or a garden hook and loop the included string over it. Because the feeder is made of wood, it is recommended to place it in a semi-sheltered location to protect the material from constant rain. To maintain the feeder, lift the lid weekly to clear out any old or damp seed husks. If the wood begins to look weathered, you can apply a bird-safe, water-based wood preservative to extend its lifespan. Keep the feeding ports clear of debris to ensure a consistent flow of seeds.
